3 Bdrm,2 bath with open floor plan on the first floor living area. W/D, all linens and kitchen equipment included Large wrap around deck with beautiful views of Buzzards Bay and Islands. Located on Bayberry Hill, 10 minute walk to village and beaches. Minimum stay 1 week. Week Starts Sunday and goes to Saturday.

Cuttyhunk is 14 miles off the coast of Massachusetts and 7 miles from Marthas Vineyard. One and a half miles long by three quaters of a mile wide. We have excellent beaches, surf casting and Stripe Bass fishing.

If you haven't been to Cuttyhunk before you should go. But don't tell anyone how amazing it is. Claudia was a wonderful host. She answered all of our questions promptly and accurately. This house is a rustic house with an AMAZING view. It is the last house on the road and has nothing but views of the ocean in front of it. If you do book make sure you bring the necessities with you (toilet paper, paper towels, detergent) because the island is small and supplies are more expensive. I highly recommend Claudia's house and look forward to staying again.

The Avalon is a historic ten-bedroom home, built in 1909, located on Cuttyhunk Island of the cost of Massachusetts. Seven to Nine rooms are available to rent depending upon dates.Whole house and single room rentals are available during our regular season, which runs from mid May through Columbus Day each year. Island life is more of a slow pace and Cuttyhunk is a perfect place to relax, re-coup, and enjoy each moment of life. Aside from it's natural beauty you will find beauty everywhere here.

When you’re not fishing, you’ll enjoy long walks among the wild flowers, a hike on one of the many beautiful trails out to the island’s West End for some of the best bird watching, a day at the beach, ice cream and a chat on the dock or cool drinks with fresh shellfish on the Avalon porch. If walking isn’t your thing, grab a golf (URL HIDDEN) the only other acceptable way to travel on the island. The pace is slow, the air is clean and nightlife is limited to stargazing.
Guests at the Avalon will find that the historic charm of the home has been preserved in spite of modernizations necessary to ensure the comfort of visitors. There is a billiard room, a large living room with TV and “boat bar,” a dining room that can seat 12 and a large covered porch overlooking Vineyard Sound with the beacon of Gay Head lighthouse blinking on the far horizon. Most guest bedrooms have private baths with claw-foot tubs; shower baths are also available for guests’ use. Twin, full, queen, and king beds are available and some of the larger rooms can easily accommodate couples with children. We have shared cooking facilities for our guests that include a microwave, coffee pots, fridge and a commercial range in the large country kitchen. Full catering can be arranged for larger parties.
We have two hosts that live on-site in a separate suite available for pick up and drop off at the dock upon arrival and departure. They can help with any questions or recommendations on things to do on the island.
Everyone is family on our little island. We all work with each other to make island life wonderful, and to give visitors a real perspective on our community. We are laid back, easy going, and all about relaxation.
No cars here! Walking and golf carts are the only ways to travel around our little island.

Peaceful island life...

Walk to Moshup Beach, the lighthouse, the shops and eateries at the cliffs and the magnificent Gayhead Cliffs from our up-island farmhouse. Awake to a symphony of birdsong and often the sound of the surf, read on the hammock under our mulberry tree, be amazed by the starry night sky. Great birding, hiking, running, fishing and cycling can be found here.
After a day at the beach, enjoy our outdoor shower and then relax on the deck with complimentary wine. Dining possibilities within walking distance include the Aquinnah Shop Restaurant, the Outermost Inn, and a couple of delightful take out eateries where you can sit at a picnic table overlooking the ocean. Just a short drive away, the Chilmark Tavern and the Homeport Restaurant are great options also. If you're in the mood for lobster, go to Larsen's Fish Store in Memensha, pick up a cooked lobster, steamers, mussels etc. and eat at the beach while watching the sunset.
While you are here, enjoy the 2nd floor space with a comfortable living area with cable tv, a lovely queen bedroom,
a balcony with a view of Vineyard Sound and a private half bath. A shared full bath with a shower and bathtub are located on the first floor. An enclosed outdoor shower is wonderful to use after the beach. A continental breakfast is provided and our Keurig is available for coffee or tea 24 hours a day.
Before you make a reservation, check on the Steamship Authority website for ferry availability for your car. While we are on the bus line and you may just hail the bus at the foot of our road and State Road, a car would be more convenient. Parking is available at our home.

Genie and Paul were absolutely wonderful and generous hosts. Their home is lovely and they are two of the most warm, interesting and hospitable people you can meet. They helped us with directions, restaurants, and figuring out what to do. They also provided lovely breakfasts every morning and the nicest wine/cheese plate one evening before we went to dinner. My friend is allergic to eggs and Genie went out of her way to find eggless cookies for her. They were also kind enough to take us to the ferry on their way into town. They consistently went above and beyond to make our stay easy and special. This part of MV is very quiet, which we loved, and is away from the hustle and bustle. There are multiple beaches and restaurants nearby that are easily accessible on bikes (which Genie and Paul provided) and on the bus. The bus system is great and picks you up/drops you off right in front of Genie's driveway. We didn't have a car and were fine without one since we rode bikes or took the bus everywhere we went. Overall, it was the perfect retreat in a beautiful part of the island and in a beautiful home with two really special people who were a pleasure to meet. We will definitely go back!

j carter2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

Genie and Paul were fabulous hosts - warm, friendly, generous and very communicative and cooperative. My daughter and I had a wonderful and comfortable time in their sweet and lovely home and gardens and enjoyed their yummy breakfasts.

Sue2014-09-07T00:00:00Z

We could not have had a nicer time than the one we had at Genie and Paul's terrific accommodation. The location was absolute perfection. It is a half-mile walk to beautiful Aquinnah Beach, which meant that we didn't bother with the car very much when we were there. Our hosts provided bikes, so we could get around that way (next time we'll leave time for the bike ferry to Menemshah). Everything was nicely done, and we especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony deck that was part of our suite. Breakfast was easy and tasty. Best of all were our hosts, who were warm and inviting and had good tips for us. We will be sure to come back again.

Alan2015-09-08T00:00:00Z

Genie and Paul were fantastic hosts. They were very helpful in pointing us in the right direction as this was our first visit to the island. The accommodations were exactly as described. We loved the outside shower! It was very relaxing each day after a long stay at the beach. We were looking for some peace and quiet and we found it. Would return again as soon as possible.

Todd2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Genie and Paul were very welcoming and treated us like family visiting their beautiful home. The home was superb, cute and comfortable, an old fashioned home redone and was gorgeous. The listing is accurate and the neighborhood is quiet and calm.

Lilu2014-09-23T00:00:00Z

We adored our time in Aquinnah with Genie and Paul. The place is about a 5 minute bike to the gorgeous Moshup Beach, and 2 miles to Lobsterville Beach Bay for the "swimmer" types and a quick drive to Menemsha for seafood and the sunset. The private 2nd story suite is quite large (bedroom, lounge/tv room, patio, 1/2 bath), the outdoor shower was refreshing, discreet and easy to use. Genie and Paul were great hosts- continental breakfast in the morning (even homemade pancakes one morning), fantastic recommendations, and generous to lend their bikes- they were just super accommodating. We would love to stay again.

John2015-08-04T00:00:00Z

Genie and Paul were incredible hosts! Paul picked us up from the ferry and drove us to their house. Our entire stay they were more than willing to drive us around and they gave great advice as to how to spend our time on the island. One night we cracked open a bottle of wine and just talked and hung out with Paul and Genie. They are fantastic. Their house is beautiful and is in a very peaceful area. The beach was wonderful. If you stay here definitely take a shower in their outside shower! It is fun to be able to shower and look up and see stars or the sun. The island has lots to do and is incredible beautiful!

Joseph2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely setting in Aquinnah, the most beautiful part of Martha's Vineyard. Although it is a ways off the beaten track, it was perfect for us. We were very comfortable in the bedroom and sitting room. The continental breakfast on the deck was wonderful. Highly recommend this especially if you want a quiet peaceful place. It is best if you have a car but I understand the bus stops nearby for those willing to navigate public transportation. A beautiful beach is within walking distance - about a mile away.

We have several rooms available. $350-$400, the second one is 50% off, $200. One room has an ocean view from your king bed. The other has 3 twins. 150 paces to our semi-private beach. Experience, up close, the famous colorful Clay Cliffs of Gay Head (Aquinnah). There you will find shops and food. Call my cell for questions at 415 then 246 then 7246. If you would like to book two rooms you pay for 2nd room upon arrival.

This is the Old Gay Head Inn built in 1875. See part of the dock at the beach where the original ferry used to dock as well as some if its well worn pillon remains. The home is artistically and lovingly decorated and is called "A piece of Paradise" by all who visit. You will too. Guaranteed.

People come here to R-e-l-a-x and get away from the hustle and bustle. If that is what you are looking for, you will be happy to find it here. Here, we enjoy almost no one on the beach, taking in the view from the deck, eating well, and just taking in the peace and silence. Menemsha, the fishing village is fun to visit, and there are restaurants there as well. You may see some movie stars hanging out at the Chilmark Store-or even at our beach, as they like the privacy here too!

The hosts Ken and Corrina were incredibly down to earth. Corrina is an amazing artist. Her seaweed art is on display when you walk through the door. We got an immediate cape cod feel as soon as we walked through the door. The view of the ocean is breath taking. A very short walk to the beach. We would go back anytime and stay there again. Worth every penny. Ken and Corrina always made us feel like it was our house and made sure we had what we needed.

Heidi2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

This was simply the most delightful trip we've taken simply due to the spectacular view, beautiful home, and most charming and welcoming hosts. On arrival we were afforded a tour and made sure we had everything we needed. The secluded room with a private entrance we stayed in had the spectacular ocean view and the rotating beam of light from the the lighthouse at night that would poke through the trees. The beach walk to the water was a rare treat both at night and during the day. If you are looking for a peaceful, secluded, "like nothing you've stayed at before" experience of MV this is the place. We're already trying to plan another trip for next summer and won't stay anywhere else but here again.

Alan's place is the perfect beach getaway with all the amenities of home and then some! It's very private, quiet, well maintained and clean, lots of windows-bright and airy - and a short walk or bike ride to the most beautiful section of the island. And there's so much to see and do on Martha's Vineyard we could have spent the entire summer exploring all the island has to offer. Alan made suggestions about great places to eat and was very friendly and helpful with my inquiries, too. We would definitely stay there again and again.

Eileen2016-06-21T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at Alan's place and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in exploring the quieter part of Martha's Vineyard. We are a family of four with two children ages 8 and 11 and the house accommodated us comfortably. We were able to get a beach pass to Philbin Beach which was very nice. It was never overcrowded which can be the case for the adjoining Moshup Beach. The house had many amenities including a great wifi connection (appreciated by our children), a fully stocked kitchen, and an amazing steam shower. There were many places to sit and relax. I also liked the fact that linens and towels were provided so that we didn't have to bring them ourselves. Finally, Alan was very responsive to our questions and provided us with great tips on where to go and what to do. I highly recommend this Airbnb experience.

Julie2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

What a lovely spot! Our stay could not have been better. The home is lovely - with a wonderful kitchen and a gorgeous shower. Bright sunlight in each room and a beautiful view off of the deck. Alan was a wonderful host. He left clear instructions and recommended some fun and interesting excursions on the island. We will definitely be back!

Meghan2016-06-12T00:00:00Z

Alan made us feel welcome and his place was great. His house is in a secluded spot (you couldn't see any other houses) but and very close to the beach. The yard was great to let our toddler run around in and there is a great spot to sit outside to lounge. Overall it was a great stay.

Elizabeth2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

Alan's house is spacious for a family of 4 (we have two young children), well equipped and close to the beach and cliffs. There was construction on a house in an adjacent lot, but Alan had informed us this was going to be the case when we booked (no complaints) and we were out frequently during the day. Would recommend to others.

Colin2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

Alan's place on MV was just what we were looking for - secluded, well equipped, lovely. The cottage has special features we relished - surround sound music, a killer stove, fabulous couches on the deck where we slept under the stars and woke to bird song. He made sure we had everything we could possibly want and connected us to the best places and people in the island. I find it amazing that people open their homes to others - it is such a lovely thing when the place that you stay takes on a character and role in a personal vacation story. Thank you Alan. We loved your home, your friends, and we especially enjoyed meeting you.

khether2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

The light filled house is beautiful on one of the loveliest parts of the island. The kitchen is well appointed along with the grill allowing us to create some memorable meals with fresh fish from Larsen's. Loved the Sonos sound system which was easy to use. Its an easy trip to the beach, and we appreciated the tips for restaurants in the area.

Paul2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

You'd be lucky to find a home as comfy and as well appointed as this one. Of particular appeal is the ocean view. In fact, we were inspired to spend more time relaxing at the house, rather then filing our days with activities. The place is perfectly set up for enjoying time with family. The bedrooms are comfortable, private and very clean. The kitchen is large and amply equipped, and the bbq, wifi and music system all worked flawlessly. James quickly responded to any of our inquires, and was even able to set up a private chef to prepare a locally sourced meal for us. Five star stay!

John & Meredith2016-04-29T00:00:00Z

James and Susan have a lovely house and it is exactly as described. They got back to us right away with any questions we had before and after we booked the place. The check-in instructions were clear and pretty easy to follow. Loved the beds! They were very comfortable considering I have a bad back. Both bathrooms were very nice and clean and we loved cooking in the open style kitchen. The neighborhood was extremely quiet, well away from the hubbub of Edgartown. The walk to the Lighthouse beach was about a mile although, I preferred Lobsterville Beach and it is even closer. All in all, it was a very relaxing and comfortable stay and we look forward to staying there for longer next time. I would highly recommend this house.

Moody2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

beautiful, immaculate home even better than pictured and described. perfect for our two families with separate space for the kids. great location and such a beautiful setting. James was an excellent host and was attentive before and during our trip. only regret is that we wish we had booked a longer stay! thank you so much!

Dawn2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Terry2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

Wow!!!...views as advertised and the home is wonderfully appointed. From access to multiple semi-private beaches with your choice of calm water (Lobsterville) or Atlanta waves (Philbin), we had a wonderful experience. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed and more and the beach gear (chairs, umbrella, towels) was wonderful. Definitely on the top of our list for our next trip to the cape.

David2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

Open, light-filled and breezy multi-level house in Aquinnah with outdoor shower, hammock, lounge chairs and cook's kitchen; the perfect spot for a carefree vacation. The house is hidden in the trees and has a roofdeck with water views of Vineyard Sound and the Elizabeth islands. The house is biking distance to all Gay Head beaches and includes permission to access Philbin Beach.

This is a light-filled 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home on 3 levels. The master bedroom with full bath is on the top floor. The second bedroom is on the first floor and is adjacent to a half bath. There are many decks with waterviews from the middle and roof decks. The house offers the great surprise of being in the woods while also providing lovely views to the Elizabeth Islands and the Vineyard Sound.
This house is featured in "Unique Rentals" on the MassLive website.

This house is tucked in the woods and guests feel a great sense of privacy. There is water on all sides of Aquinnah -- it is possible to watch sunrise over water and sunset over a different body of water. The biking in the area is especially nice.

We spent two weeks at the house and it was everything we had hoped it would be. Great space, fantastic roof deck with sunset views over the water and so close to the beach! If you want to stay up Island, you can't find a better place.

The lobsterville bike ferry is a 10 minute ride, with great access to Menemsha. The house has a great set up with an amazing roof deck. Truly a special place.

Dana's Treehouse is just perfect for a beach getaway!! We arrived on Sunday for a 5-night stay and quickly extended for three extra nights. The place was spotless, well-furnished and appointed and exactly as pictured. Communication with Dana easy and we had no arrival / departure issues. Her directions and arrangements were very clear. The dishwasher / washer / dryer, satellite TV, Wi-Fi and DVD/CD players all worked and Dana has a good selection of stuff to play. The lower and upper decks have a nice water view and we found living in the trees and BBQing on the deck very relaxing. Philbin Beach is spectacular and just a short drive (or bike ride) away with easy parking (permit required) and access. The traffic in the area is light so biking is fun. We were able to find pretty much everything we needed in nearby Chilmark and recommend the Outermost Inn in Aquinnah for dinner and Menemsha for that lobster / fried clam fix. All-in-all, just what we needed for a wonderful stay on the Vineyard!! We hope to stay again sometime....

The Gay Head/Aquinnah area is known as the most ecologically preserved least populated and most peaceful part of Martha's Vineyard,. It is away from the hustle, bustle and traffic of the "down island" towns of Vineyard Haven , Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. There is very little traffic and a beautiful private Atlantic beach and resident parking only bayside beach (parking pass comes with house). There are private fishing charters available with local, renowned charterers.
It is close to Menemsha, a fishing village where folks often go to watch the sunset and purchase fresh fish and other seafood for grilling at home with family and friends.
It is a 9 minute drive to Chilmark Center, another 9 minute drive to West Tisbury center and another 9 minute drive to the "down island" towns of Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. There are several very highly rated restaurants near Aquinnah and Menemsha/Chilmark center.

Feel the stresses of your everyday life melt away when you arrive at this handsome home, tucked away amongst the pristine natural beauty of Aquinnah. Boasting 1,400 square feet of tastefully appointed living space, this recently built home provides plenty of room and privacy for several couples or a memorable family retreat. You’ll love spending time in the main living area, which offers plush couches and a cable TV. The chef of the group will love preparing a tasty meal in the fully equipped kitchen that the group can enjoy at the quaint dining table or breakfast bar. When you’re ready to call it a night, a variety of plush beds await in each of the bedrooms.
Should you be traveling with a large group, the 5-bedroom home on the property is also available for rental. The two homes together provide sleeping accommodations for up to 16 guests, with ample overflow room for additional kids - not to mention plenty of space to enjoy the pleasant surroundings at this 4 acre property.

Everybody in your group will love this home’s location! Located on beautiful Martha's Vineyard, you’ll have unparalleled access to beaches, restaurants, shopping and more! Paint the town with a fancy dinner at Beach Plum Inn, Chilmark Tavern or the Outermost Inn by the cliffs. If you prefer a more casual bite to eat, be sure to stop by Larsen’s Fish Market for some tasty oysters and clams. Searching for more beautiful scenery? Take a short bike ride to the bike ferry, which will transport you to Menemsha - home of the breathtaking Aquinnah cliffs. Regardless of how you choose to spend your time here, this beaming Aquinnah vacation rental home is sure to provide an unforgettable experience!

We had a great stay here. The location cannot be beat if you are looking to relax and hit the beach on the Vineyard. The house itself was cozy and bright, with an awesome view from the back porch. You are a five minute drive from Gayhead or Philbin beach, the two best beaches on island! Bob was great about staying in touch and the house was extremely clean. The house was a bit low on amenities, we had to buy all of our own dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels and toilet paper so just be sure to pack some extra if you plan on staying here. Pro tip: Hit Philbin for sunset, you will be the only ones there.

Our property has wonderful privacy, no house is visible from ours. We have three acres, a sweeping lawn that leads down to our natural pond.
Martha's Vineyard has an extraordinary number of long walking trails and nature preserves, golf courses, movie theaters, restaurants, book stores, beaches, and riding trails. There is every kind of swimming opportunity, kayaking, body surfing, surfing, biking, birding, fishing, and boating.

Our Moshup Trail area is a wonderful, natural part of the island. We have large areas of totally natural habitat. The birding is amazing. The road runs along the beach for miles. The sandy, beautiful ocean beach is just a short walk and then you can walk for miles on the beach. The waves are perfect for families to enjoy; to the West there are the Gay Head Cliffs, a national landmark and to the East rolling dunes. You can reach the top of the Cliffs by going along the Moshup Trail about 1/2 a mile - in season there are restaurants and shops.

The host took great care in all details - when we arrived, there was a map laid out with a deck of playing cards and some locally made chocolates. There were sweet little post-it notes everywhere with tips and directions for everything : where to get extra towels, how to connect to wifi, which remote worked for what, etc. The home was exactly as pictured: incredibly sunny, peaceful, quiet, and minutes from the beach. We felt SO welcomed and had just an incredible time as a first vacation as a family. The baby loved the nature and the quiet nights (we live in NYC where it can be quite noisy) and she especially loved visiting all the local farms and playing with the animals. We can imagine that during high season the feel is likely very different, but as it was, it was nothing shy of perfect. We had locally fished lobster, breakfast on the sunny terrace, the beach all to ourselves for nice walks in the brisk air, and our favorite HGTV shows to watch at night :) Kitchen is also well-stocked - we had every utensil we would have wanted at our disposal and the host even left us 2.5 gallons of spring water in the fridge! :) can't speak highly enough about our stay.

A truly beautiful home in a wonderful location! Thank you Kathleen for providing us with a treasure of wonderful memories. The house itself is very nice, with wonderful views of the beaches of Aquinnah and the blue waters beyond. We loved our time on Martha's Vineyard and intend to return to Kathleen's.

This home is welcoming, clean, spacious and uncluttered. It offers spectacular views of the Atlantic on 2 levels, along with rolling lawns and a backyard pond. Expected modern amenities are all present. My family of 6 adults, one child and 2 dogs spent a very relaxing and comfortable week in/on this property recently. We can't recommend this home enough.

This spectacular vacation house with cathedral ceilings and a modern feel lets you know you are on vacation from the moment you enter the lovely kitchen with the stunning view through the wall of glass that leads to the expansive deck overlooking the dunes and the Atlantic.
What sets this house apart is that it feels so private, and yet it is close to everything that makes this Moshup's Trail location one of the most beautiful spots on Martha's Vineyard.
You can walk to Philbin Beach, the light house, shops, restaurant and the red cliffs of Aquinnah (formally known as Gay Head), then come home, kick back and enjoy the roomy decks that surround the house allowing sun lovers to bask, and shade lovers some cool respite.
Go to sleep and wake up to nature's idea of silence, surf and seagulls!
This Martha's Vineyard island get away home has everything you need for a memorable holiday.
Why?: Because you need a break! This house takes away the stress of our busy lives. It is simple and clutter free and it just works. For family and all the business that entails, and for couples and the romance that can be hard to find in our day to day routines.
When?: Book early!
One if the things that keeps the Vineyard as special as it is is also the thing that all Vineyard vacationers turn to drink over... The Ferry!!!
They used to have a stand by service on the weekends, but now that is gone. You must book a ferry even if the date is not the right date because you can get on a waiting list ONLY if you have a reservation.
Remember the difficulty is why the Vineyard stays so nice and is SO awesome to spend your holiday on!!
How?: Contact the Irreras...
We will make it as easy as we can. We are accessible, it is our house we love it, we have been there done that!
New renovations for summer 2013! Upstairs 2nd bedroom is being enlarged with a slider, ocean view and semi-private deck area. Upstairs bathroom is being enlarged, and downstairs bunk room will be larger with a slider, view and screen porch!
